Quilt basting techniques for a longarm quilting machine

November 17, 2020

In this video, you’ll discover techniques for securing your quilt layers together on a longarm quilting machine. We cover everything from stabilizing the edges when loading it to your frame…to earning extra money basting the quilt for hand quilters. APQS Education Director Dawn Cavanaugh even shows you how to baste the quilt if you’re a sit-down machine quilter.

Happy quilting!
